The Hon. John w. Daniel was elected
to succeed General Malone and became
senator in the United States Congress
March 3. 1887, and has six years to serve.
He will take his seat in the Senate for
the fIst time at the approaching session
of Congress.
Mr.. Kiddlebcrger's term expires March
?, 1889, and it is to elect a successor to
him that the election viii be held by the
General Assembly this session.
The general impression here IS that
Mr.. Barbour will receive the unanimous
vote of the Democratic members, and
will, therefore, be elected to serve in the
Senate for six years, dating from the 4th
Of March, 1889
Ii will be curious to see upon whom
the Republicans will confer the empty
honor Of their vote Under ordinary
circumstances Mr. Riddleberger would
be entitled to the distinction. but rs
things stand General Malone seems TO
be more in favor with the Republicans
than Mr. Riddlcberger. and the General is
still ambitious for eadcrship-stiIl hoping
that some political earthquake will
come and elevate him to place and power
again. No doubt he would Ike to boss
the Virginia delegation to the National
Republican Convention next year.

Tho rIn,lxunon Sewer Ahominatinn

There is no sign Of any immediate
purpose on the part Of the city authori-
ties to abste the Hollywood sewer
nuisance, and they will be slow to act
unless spurred up by the Hollywood
company.
The company made n great mistake in
ever giving their consent for the con
struction Of this culvert, without first
having a contract as to the time when
the sewer should be completed. In the
end they may have TO finish it at their
own cost, or have the people driven
away from the prettiest portion OF the
grounds by the insutlerable stencil.
